Catherine Hill5 October 2004
on Dancing in the Sea, her story of how she survived a hijack

Catherine Hill was returning to Italy with her boyfriend, Picci, after holidaying in India. As the plane stood on the tarmac in Karachi en route to Italy, Catherine's life changed forever when terrorists stormed the cabin.

Catherine survived the hijack but with terrible injuries caused by a grenade. In Dancing in the Sea, she describes her emotional state during the hijack, from initial shock to 'positive' thoughts of survival.

Catherine talks to Sharmini Selvarajah about her terrifying experience, how it has affected her life, and her feelings about it now.

Dancing in the Sea by Catherine Hill, Mainstream Publishing ISBN 1 84018 877 4
